Sorry, Notepad does not have a naive facility for that. You are advised to use a free service like
Https://Wordcounter.net for your need.
I hope that helps.

2018-10-17T09:00:50+00:00 Hi there Sukanyasinha! Unfortunately there is no word count in notepad, however if you are running Notepad++ you can see the word count by double-clicking on Status Bar (shortcut to View → Summary)
View → Summary
TextFX Tools → Word Count
I hope I could be of assistance :)
